01:17 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> andypugh@: Well done all, much appreciated!

03:38 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> skunkworks8841@: Ubiquiti AF60-LR AirFiber? Not sure if it counts as exactly cheap though
03:42 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> 12km range might be a bit overkill
03:44 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> https://www.amazon.co.uk/MikroTik-Wireless-Wire-Cube-Pro/dp/B0B4PKDJF4
03:44 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Looks pretty good, might consider some myself
04:19 AM Tom_L: morning
05:35 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> God morgen
06:59 AM JT-Cave: 44°F
07:15 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> You live on the north pole?
07:15 AM JT-Cave: middle pole
07:16 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Cold place
07:16 AM JT-Cave: today it is
07:16 AM rdtsc-w: actually slightly warmer here... 47°F
07:17 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> 19°C here
07:17 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Pissing it down
07:20 AM rdtsc-w: if we un-tilted the axis of the Earth to avoid these pesky seasons, mosquitoes (and flies) would probably take over
07:25 AM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Think it would take some doing, poles flipping however should happen soonish
08:02 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> 46f here
12:34 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@> sure beats the heat and humidity we had in July and August
12:34 PM xxcoder: its nice and cool here. which means humidity is going up
12:35 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@> beware 60GHz when it raining heavily
12:37 PM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.@> it/it's
12:38 PM xxcoder: hmm why?

12:40 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> So I got some pictures of the wiring that other dude used on his Shizuoka to interface with the stepper drivers:
12:40 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> The 3 blue on the right are coming from the drives
12:41 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> https://jauriarts.org/_heisenbridge/media/matrix.org/hoUlqLiEhvrKPamxogeTdqas/4eKGoPG9Kqw/IMG_5656.jpeg
12:41 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> His has spindle control which mine doesn’t… so mine should be a little simpler. Doesn’t seem toooooo bad
12:43 PM xxcoder: I definitely would recreate that in wiring cad first
12:43 PM xxcoder: and re-confirm
12:44 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> Oh 100%
12:45 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> I’d prefer not to have jumpers in there, this would probably be a pretty cheap PCB to have made
12:50 PM rdtsc-w: two chips on the breadboard - inverters?
12:52 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> https://jauriarts.org/_heisenbridge/media/matrix.org/rPIWOUOBAdgbmPdohrxBUcGm/Uyjk5OlCZo4/IMG_5660.jpeg
12:52 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> Unsure
12:55 PM rdtsc-w: looks like it might read SN74HC04 - if so, that's six inverters per IC https://octopart.com/search?q=SN74HC04&currency=USD&specs=0
01:03 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> Interesting
01:06 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> this is for the bandit control?
01:06 PM lcnc-relay: <Mister Wallace> Correct. Interfacing with the existing drives in the Bandit
01:08 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> captainhindsight_.@: Should still work fairly well for skunkworks8841@ at 100m I'd imagine
01:09 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> It might not like trees though
01:10 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> this is line of site
01:10 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> I should just bury fiber. but I don't want to yet
01:10 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> I just need a bare minumum network access down there.
01:13 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> it is a hole were the wifi doesn't reach and cell service is non-existant..
01:13 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Seems like the ubiquity will do 70ghz if you take some creative license with the region settings
01:17 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Or maybe not, as it has built in gps

01:17 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> * anyone

01:27 PM lcnc-relay: <ccatlett1984@> Oof
01:30 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Woopsie
01:31 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> Didn't make it into the build yesterday did it?
01:50 PM Connor: Hey Guys. Question for those with ATC's. How do you handle X/Y move after tool change. I'm using FreeCAD, and it will move the Z then X/Y after tool change, which can be dangerous. So, I made the M6 return to previous location, but, that's wasted move most of the time. I can refactor the post processor to do X/Y before Z. I was wondering what other CAM packages do, and how most setup their M6 macro.
01:51 PM xxcoder: toolchange is usually machine based, not cam based
01:51 PM xxcoder: that way you dont have to code specifically for each machine toolchanger
01:51 PM Connor: agreed. So, move to previous location, or stay put?
01:51 PM xxcoder: (besides some of older machines odd stuff)
01:52 PM Connor: Tool change has finished. The spindle (gantry) or table(vmc) is sitting in the spot where it does the tool change..
01:52 PM xxcoder: I dont know, from programming side. I only know experence from running bunch of machines.
01:52 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> How is your tool magazine setup? Physically?
01:52 PM Connor: So, what do they do? Go back to previous location, or just move on to the next spot? X/Y before Z?
01:53 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> like - what happens that is the issue after the tool change?
01:54 PM Connor: Yes. Machine moves to tool change station, (or tool setter location, same deal), after complete, does it stay put, or move back to where it was previously.
01:58 PM Connor: On a large machine, such as a 5x10 or 5x20 router, that could mean a huge amount of travel back to one side of the part..
02:00 PM Connor: If M6 returns back to previous location.
02:01 PM Connor: But, if the CAM doesn't do something correct, it could cause a crash (Need to do X/Y before Z after a tool change to tool length set )
02:01 PM Connor: if we leave the machine at the spot of tool change / tool setter.
02:02 PM rdtsc-w: maybe look into post-processing the gcode for whatever's applicable to this machine
02:03 PM Connor: I am, but, I'm coding for FreeCAD PP's right now. trying to figure out if we want to add a X/Y before Z move.
02:03 PM Connor: This came up also because of coolant. Turn coolant on after tool change, or after it's moved to clearance height..
02:14 PM lcnc-relay: <lucid.nonsense@> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/205462350335 steal for someone in the UK, would buy it if I had the space

06:12 PM xxcoder: the wood is worth more than doge dollars
06:13 PM NetPipe: 20 doge is currently like 5 bux
06:13 PM NetPipe: 100 doge is 35 cdn
06:13 PM NetPipe: it'll be worth more in like 5 years tho
06:13 PM xxcoder: lol ok
06:14 PM NetPipe: if i sell a 20 for 20 bux its more like a collectors
06:14 PM NetPipe: and i can profit 10 bux
06:14 PM NetPipe: stainless steel engraving might be better for wear though
06:15 PM NetPipe: suck to loose the keys on the back just because it fell down and chipped
07:52 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> well - as far as I now it is a 1937 sportfour...

07:58 PM xxcoder: boat engine?
08:07 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Yes
08:09 PM peter__: 4 cylinders 2 Cycle?
09:13 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> I actually don't know
09:13 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Evineude
09:14 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> Pretty sure it is 4 cylinder - I would guess 2 cycle. Have not looked at it close up
09:15 PM peter__: Apparently 4 Cylinder 2 cycle opposed
